Brand X

This new show promises to give us 'Brand's unvarnished, unfiltered take on current events, politics and pop culture.' Now, if we can just make out what he's saying through his accent, we're pretty convinced that we'll be laughing. Okay, that wasn't funny (the man is completely intelligible), but we promise you Russell Brand is way funnier than we are -- please remember, he's the man with the TV show, not us, don't use our jokes to judge his. Initially ordered for six episodes, Brand not only hosts the series, he executive produces it as well.
